Some of the sweetest group vocal harmonies ever. How is this show not more highly rated?

Way up-tempo and crisp and groovy. This was Keith's first run of shows and their's popping creative energy throughout.

Bobby's voice sounds beautiful, one of his clearest, nicest vocal performances of this one.

Right about here a damn good show becomes an outrageously amazing show.

Exploratory and energetic, coming in the heart of an hour-long jam. Great musicality and clear communication between the boys here.

More love here. After a firework-filled Sugar Mag opener, this lovely lady puts the solid groove down. Jerry just gives more and more and more.

I try to avoid absolutes, but this is (currently) my favorite acoustic set. Beaut of a Dark Hollow here, folks. Bobby's voice is just perfect.

I'll take this one, thank you. Takes this tune way up over the top with high energy soloing. Great great show.

Convincing evidence for 1970 this. Brilliant, perfect acoustic Dead.

Okay, I'll take the bait: you got a link that's not on the archive? Let us know. I'd love to hear some rare privileged early speedway dead.
